[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just one comment on a particular issue we have dealt with.  As a DC HF, it is annoying and challenging when Virginia or Maryland families put an arbitrary no driving into DC restriction on their au pair because it means that my au pair has to drive all the time to see yours and yours can't come to our house to hang out with ours (or in one case we got wrapped up in drama with an AP friend of our APs who lied to her host family about this so she could come to our house to watch a movie.  I understand if families want to have certain restrictions on their car and maybe not let her drive into downtown or something, but really nothing magical happens when they cross the DC line to come to my neighborhood and it is no harder to drive in NW DC than Tysons.  Please reconsider particularly if your AP's cluster includes DC families.  [/quote]

If our AP goes to DC, she takes metro.  The restriction is meant mainly to prevent clubbing and driving (after drinking) and to keep her from getting parking tickets.

We're in Falls Church so we have no DC families in our cluster.[/quote]
